SOAR Options and Dates


Two-day (Extended) SOAR

Extended SOAR is designed for incoming students who prefer a more thorough and comprehensive orientation to Utah State in a more relaxed and social setting. It offers a chance to sample college living with an overnight stay in a residence hall and meals from Dining Services. Activities include an extended campus tour activity, games on the QUAD, campus life workshop, and an evening dance/party. It offers a little more time to absorb the orientation information and to take care of any personal business you might have on campus.

Length: One and a half days

Date: June 19-20 (full)

Cost: $75. This includes meals, one night of lodging in a residence hall, activities, your student I.D. card, and the SOAR informational materials. The SOAR fee will be taken out of your University Deposit. The remaining balance will be in your student account when you pay tuition and/or fees.
